<p><strong>As part of the efforts to fight against COVID-19, the King of Igbo community in Ghana, His Royal Majesty, Eze Dr. Jude Chukwedi Ihinetu and his wife, Liberty Ihinetu, have made available food items like rice, oil and water as part of their contribution to help the needy in their community.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Donating the items, Eze Jude stated that one of the major effects of the lockdown was hunger especially among the less privileged in the society.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Information, sourced by OpenLife from Joseph Nana Yaw Cobbina, quoted the chief as saying  ;that the homeless, casual workers, head porters ; (Kayayei) as well as street beggars are those who suffered the most ; due to lack of money and food as a result of the lockdown which led to ; commercial businesses being shutdown.</strong></p>



<p><strong>This, he said compelled him and his royal household to distribute food items to the needy in his neighborhood, East Legon, a suburb of Accra, adding that the distribution was done under the auspices of the Eze Igbo Ghana Foundation Feeding the Hungry Project.</strong></p>



<p><strong>According to him it is time for his fellow philanthropists to show love to the needy.</strong></p>



<p><strong>He revealed that a lot of people have been coming to him for support and the best way he can do to help the masses was to distribute food to the needy people around him.</strong></p>

<p><strong> ;He promised that his Foundation will keep supporting the less privilege in the society.</strong></p>



<p><strong>On her part, Madam Liberty Ihinetu, wife of Eze Jude Ihinetu said it is important for  ;their Foundation to support the needy in difficult times such as the ; lockdown by distributing food in a little way the Royal Household and the Foundation can do to help the community.</strong></p>



<p><strong>According to her, it is prudent for the King to take care of his neighborhood before other communities &#8220;that is why we started with the community we live in&#8221; she noted.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, it would be recalled that  ;foundations, philanthropists and other individuals have taken urgent steps to support the needy by donating money and personal Protective Equipments to hospitals and individuals as a result of lockdown order by government in two Regions on March 29, 2020 .</strong></p>
